第17話 - IT'S A LONG WAY
My brother,
It's a long way we have come;
You seem to have forgotten
That it's a long way we have come.
Remember how we stumbled and fell,
How we hungered and thirsted
Before we came to that stream
And found wild roots to our satisfaction.
You joined me on the way
And I have never given up;
Why do you change your mind?
Have you forgotten where we came from?
This is the right direction,
You head the wrong way;
Why do you give up the right path
For your shortcuts?
Why do you abandon me
To carry these heavy burdens?
Here you are leaving your burdens too.
Remember the wilderness in evil.
Here I remain without you
And go determined the right way.
I forget all about you
As you go your own direction.
Don't curse me when struck by lightening
And you have nobody to bury you.
Don't regret when snake bitten
And have no eyes as you go your way.
